Make it part of a day trip while enjoying your Houseboat Holiday.  There's plenty to see and do around the region.

Moor your houseboat at Sealer's Cove and dinghy into shore.  There is a fantastic walk trail across to Circus Beach.  This magnificent beach is only accessibe by boat and from this walk trail.

It is told that one of our early pioneering families used to break and train horses on the beach and from the top of the hill it looked like a bit of a Circus and this is where the beach derived its name.

A walk along the beach will lead you to the 'Fountain of Youth' a crystal clear spring of pure fresh water.
